ROYAL MAIL NEWS BRITISH PHILATELIC BULLETIN A / Mrs J Robinson 200 Manorbier Road Ilkeston Derbyshire DE7 4AB 356 VOLUME 33 AUGUST 1996 Royal Mail news Children s tv stamps • Celebrity stamp launches • Robert Burns exhibition • New stamp books • npm news • Bureau’s 30 years in Edinburgh Big stars of the small screen Stamps featuring much-loved characters from children’s television programmes go on sale at post offices, and philatelic outlets on 3 September. The issue commemorates 50 years of children’s television. The 20p stamp (basic inland 2nd class rate) The stamps were designed by Tutsells, their first commis­ features muffin the mule, bought by pup­ sion for Royal Mail, and print­ peteer Ann Hogarth in 1934 and made his tele­ ed by Joh Enschedd of the vision debut in 1946 after working with circus Netherlands, their second set of special stamps for Royal puppets. His talents were quickly recognised by Mail. the bbg and he was given a prime time slot on Children’s Hour. His co-star was Annette Mills, sis­ ter of actor Sir John Mills. Muffin continued on tv until 1957. A Muffin video was launched in 1989. sooty is the star of the 26p value (basic inland 1 st class and eu rate). The famous bear was dis­ covered by the late Harry Corbett in a toyshop in Blackpool in 1948. Corbett bought the glove­ puppet for about 7s 3d (36p) to entertain his three children. Initially the bear was called Teddy but his name was changed to Sooty after Corbett’s wife brushed soot on his ears. Corbett and Sooty made their tv debut in 1952, being joined by Sweep the dog five years later. Since Harry Corbett’s death, his son Matthew has worked ‘hand in glove’ with his partner. In May this year the rights for Sooty were sold by Matthew to City bank Gui- ness Mahon Development Capital for some £i-4 million. The company aim to promote the bear through international television, and merchanis- ing. According to recent press reports about 60 people depend on Sooty for their livelihood, he once squirted water at the Duke of Edinburgh, and footballer George Best is his greatest fan. A special postmark was used in February 1992 to mark Sooty’s 40th birthday. The 3ip stamp (Europe, non-EU countries, rate) depicts Troy Tempest from stingray - a puppet science fiction programme which made its tv debut in i960. Tempest was modelled on American actor James Garner, and it is said that another character, Lord Titan, was inspired by Lord Olivier who was depicted, with Vivien Leigh, on the 2yp 100 Years of Going to the Pictures stamp in April. 357 ROYAL MAIL NEWS BRITISH PHILATELIC BULLETIN Technical details Characters from the popular programme the clangers feature on the 37P stamp (overseas Printers Joh Enschede Security Printing postcard rate), the invention of Oliver Postgate Process Photogravure and Peter Firmin.

The first show for children was broadcast 50 years ago For The Children. The first programme included an item about stamp collecting. The programmes were initially broadcast on Sunday afternoons but later expanded. The programmes of the 1950s and 60s are now regarded as classics and still have a cult following: Andy Pandy, The Flowerpot Men, The Woodentops, Play School, Thunderbirds, The Magic Round­ about, and Jackanory. A new generation were brought up on John Craven’s Newsround (first regular news programme for children), The Muppets, and Grange Hill. Perhaps the best-known of all remains Blue Peter which started in 1958. It regularly features British stamps and three sets have been designed as a result of Blue Peter competitions: 1966 and 1981 Christmas and 1992 Green Issue. The 50th anniversary of the bbc was marked by three stamps in a Broadcasting Anniversaries set in 1972. The 75th anniversary will be the subject of the 1997 prestige stamp book.

    2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday

    Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

    Save Kids’ TV Campaign British children’s television - on the BBC, Channel 4, ITV and Five - has been widely acknowledged as amongst the most creative and innovative in the world. But changes in children’s viewing patterns, and the ban on certain types of advertising to children, are putting huge strains on commercial broadcasters. Channel 4 no longer makes children’s programmes and ITV (until recently the UK’s second largest kids’ TV commissioner) has ceased all new children’s production. They are deserting the children’s audience because it doesn’t provide enough revenue. Channel FIVE have cut back their children’s programming too. The international channels - Disney, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network - produce some programming here, but not enough to fill the gap, and much of that has to be international in its focus so that it can be used on their channels in other territories. The recent Ofcom report on the health of children’s broadcasting in the UK has revealed that despite the appearance of enormous choice in children’s viewing, the many channels available offer only a tiny number of programmes produced in the UK with British kids’ interests at their core. The figures are shocking – only 1% of what’s available to our kids is new programming made in the UK.

    The 100 Greatest Kids’ TV Shows UK TV compilation marathon : 2001 : dir. : Channel 4 : ? min prod: : scr: : dir.ph.: …………………………….……………………………………………………………………………… Guest pundits: Ref: Pages Sources Stills Words Ω 8 M Copy on VHS Last Viewed 5500 2.5 0 0 1,287 - - - - - No August 2001 Broadcast Channel 4: 27/08/01. The last few years of the 20th century presented the media with a perfect occasion to conduct their own ad hoc round-ups of the century’s most influential people, most important films, best popular music etc etc. So 2001 is perhaps a little soon to be dipping back into the same baskets, yet Channel 4 has strewn the year with surveys similar to this one (see for example “Top Ten Teen Idols”). One might think such retrospectives were a clear invitation to the over-25s to bask for a short while in the kind of programming they used to enjoy – a brief escape from a television saturated with material aimed at the apolitical, pill-popping post-Thatcherite generation, breast-fed on tabloid culture. Ah but no, Channel 4 are too shrewd for that. Their retrospectives are chiefly an opportunity for that same generation to thumb their noses at everything which preceded their own miraculous lives. And so it goes with this one. It’s some reflection on the value of their poll that the two programmes topping Channel 4’s list were not even children’s programmes anyway! – “The Muppet Show” (no.2) and “The Simpsons” (no.1) never purported to be made for kids, were never broadcast in children’s TV slots, and hence not surprisingly are best favoured by adults.

    For Immediate Release the WORLD's OLDEST TEDDY BEAR

    For Immediate Release 30 August 2006 Contact: Zoë Schoon 020.7752.3121 [email protected] THE WORLD’S OLDEST TEDDY BEAR MUSEUM TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE TREATY AT CHRISTIE’S SOUTH KENSINGTON The Teddy Bear Museum, Stratford-upon-Avon South Kensington – Christie’s are pleased to present, by private treaty, the sale of the world’s oldest Teddy Bear Museum, based in Stratford-upon-Avon. The award-winning museum was opened by self- confessed teddy bear enthusiast and well known broadcaster Gyles Brandreth and his wife Michele, on 4th July 1988. Since then, this popular little museum has gone from strength to strength in one of England’s most celebrated towns. Stratford-upon-Avon attracts five million tourists annually and visitors to the Teddy Bear Museum have ranged from royalty to Tony Blair’s bear, Lynton, who recently spent his summer holidays at the Museum. The collection, personally put together by Brandreth, numbers a thousand bears and related items. It is to be sold as a going concern, along with the Tudor building (once the property of King Henry VIII) that has been its home for the last 18 years. “The Museum has come of age and it’s now time for us to find new owners for the museum and its unique collection. Our children are all grown-up and my work commitments mean that I simply don’t have the time to give it the care and attention it deserves. We want to find new owners for the Museum who will love it as much as we do and see it go from strength to strength.” Said Gyles Brandreth Highlights of the collection include several early Steiff bears, the earliest being Growler, a much- sought-after Steiff rod-bear, circa 1904.

    Knowledge Organiser for Year 1 and 2 Topic: Local History Study / Book Topic: Beegu Key questions: - Can you explain what an object from the past might have been used for? - Can you spot old and new things in a picture? - Can you describe a significant place from the past in your own locality? - Can you find things out about the past by talking to an older person? Key facts: Can you explain what an object from the past might have been used for? Can you spot old and new things in a picture? A loom is a device used to weave. The purpose of any loom is to hold the warp threads in place, to facilitate the weaver weaving the weft threads through them. The precise shape of the loom and its mechanics may vary, but the purpose is the same. Can you describe a significant place from the past in your own locality? Can you find things out about the past by talking to an older person? Harry was born in Bradford in 1888, fish and chip frying was a family business. He bought premises at White Cross which had formerly been the Silver Badge Cafe at a cost of £150, opening for business on 20th December 1928. He was so successful that 3 years later he built his "palace", based on the opulence of the Ritz Hotel, he installed fitted carpets, oak paneled walls and crystal chandeliers. Seating 250 customers, it was the largest fish and chip shop in the world! In 1952, he served fish and chips at 1912 prices to celebrate 25 years trading.

    For April 2021 – by Eileen Truby You Are Holding a Dinner Party for 5 Gues

    U3a Creative Writing Group – “Writing prompt” for April 2021 – by Eileen Truby You are holding a dinner party for 5 guests plus yourself. The guests will be well known people, not necessarily living, but who have contributed to society in some way. Write about why you chose them and describe briefly conversations they would have had with each other and set the menu for the dinner. The guests I would invite are: Ventriloquist Peter Brough and his ventriloquist’s dummy Archie Andrews Ventriloquist Keith Harris and his puppet Orville the Duck Annette Mills and her string puppet Muffin the Mule Harry Corbett (magician and puppeteer) and his glove puppet Sooty the yellow teddy bear. Charlie Drake - Comedian/singer/slapstick artist Host - Eileen Truby The menu would be plain and simple and preferably something that could be eaten one handed as most of my guests would be using one of their hands to manipulate their puppets. I’d choose: Tomato soup with croutons so the guests wouldn’t have to mess about with breaking and buttering rolls. Homemade fish and chips, preferably served in newspaper (easy to pick up with fork or fingers). Finger bowls will be needed for use before dessert. Jelly and custard for dessert (easy to eat with a spoon). Drinks would be beers, wine, soft drinks and tea/coffee. I’ve chosen these guests as they remind me of the innocence and carefree days of my childhood. My children look at me as if I’ve gone mad when I tell them I used to listen to a radio program that starred a ventriloquist dummy called Archie Andrews.

    Roald Dahl: The Man Who Believed in Magic Roald Dahl: The Man Who Believed in Magic About The Letterpress Project At The Letterpress Project we believe that there is something very special about reading books. Holding them in your hands, turning the pages, catching the smell of paper old and new, marveling at the skills of the illustrator and letting the weight of all those pages settle in your hand or on your lap – it’s an invitation to a journey that can take you anywhere. We think that books are a gateway to ideas and adventures that expand our understanding of the world and ourselves. All reading can do that but nothing does it better than the collation of paper and ink bound between two covers that, when you open it, transforms into a relationship between you and the author. The Letterpress Project is a not-for-profit initiative.
